Dear Dr. Amann,
I enjoyed speaking to you today and, as promised, I am putting
the main points of our proposal in writing for you to share
with your colleagues.
First, let me repeat Lippincott's wish to continue publication
of the Journal of Andrology. Clearly, having invested heavily
in its growth and development and having a very good
relationship with the American Society of Andrology, we wish
only to develop the financial side realistically to a point
where the income from the journal will provide a sound basis
for continued growth in pages or issues.
Our revised proposal is based on the most important
considerations from the Society's viewpoint. Until 1993,
member rates and page charges are kept down and member rates
are only increased from $45 to $55 with page charges increased
from $45 to $50 in 1991. In addition, $34,000 is budgeted for
ASA Editorial Office Expenses from 1990 onwards. Also, the
contract allows for the Society to annually monitor the actual
costs, overhead and success of a profit-sharing arrangement.
On Lippincott's end, we are still convinced that the market can
bear an increase in non-member subscription rates. Once these
have been raised in 1990, it is intended that they should be
raised only gradually thereafter. It is very important to
build up the income earned from subscriptions and and combining
this with the present increase in pages is ideal. Although,
this subscription rate increase only goes part of the way
towards Lippincott's goal (of receiving royalties that are 10%
of total income), we have now planned for a more gradual
pattern of growth and a temporary reduction in royalty. The
overheads obviously are calculated by a standardized procedure
which are our actual costs and may be aUdited.
Lippincott as a company has a long-term approach to the success
of the Journal of Andrology, hence our acceptance of an
